Unfortunately, cheating is rampant. I think you need to test your students in an environment where they cannot cheat. I'm sure there are ways to do that.
It's good you are concerned. But I do not think turning off copy / paste will stop students from cheating, since they could easily look at the correct answer from one of their friends, and copy it down by hand. Turning off copy / paste slows the cheating process, but does not stop it.
The copy / paste cheaters are even easier to catch, since the answer is exactly the same, down to minor formatting details, a dead give-away of cheating.
